What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[VoodooSan]

It’s that time of year again! Time for all the stingy goodness. That’s right it’s Stingymas all over again. For those who don’t know StingyMas created with my friend @Redfokker is an 11 day celebration of all the fine hats that just happen to have shorter brims. If you want to join in the StingyMas fun.. the rules are simple And very loose. Show off your hats with brims at the shorter end of your collection…. For me I shoot for 2 in brims and shorter…. Though I may make an exception or two. What Is your “stingy” range?

On the first Day of StingyMas.…

Borsalino Casear

As the temperatures drop, I’m reminded to pop in the Buckaroo Hatters ear cover/wind guard I bought last season This is GENIUS.
Now I need the brown one…

What a beauty!

That Disney is a real looker, Randall. Very nice!

Thanks, guys!
She is a beaut, and so fitting for a guy from the Peach State!
David, the dust settling round this hat haven is caused by the expensive vintage jacket/coat folks on our sister threads.

As per every winter, the D in Dlaniger stands for Dapper! You sure know how to layer up, bruh! Well topped with that hairy Borsa!

Fantastic hat, Daniele. We do need more love here for black hats.

Wow, is all I can say. That hat has some presence! Wonderful.

Thanks Stefan.
Black hats deserve a prominent place in the hats history, at least in our eyes.
I'll try to complete the series in the coming days

Going in full blast, Joe. These brims aren't stingy, but "modest"

That wind guard is not mentioned on their website. Bummer, too. Looks like it might be pretty handy for cold country.

I bought this last year. We may need to resort to the ancient ways, and call Mike to inquire.

It was a Banjo Paterson day for me. The ground is still lightly white around here and getting whiter.

Theres a Banjo Paterson somewhere in the Post Office on the way to me right now... my only dark Akubra.. Guess its actually Charcoal... not black. Really looking forward to it!

Starting the weekend off right with this Royal DeLuxe Stetson with whip stitch brim edge and hatband. First time I put it on my head I could feel the stitches popping that connect the sweatband to the hat and about 1/3 of the sweatband came loose. Got it all sewed backed in a couple hours and now good as new !!
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

Another wet grey morning in deep east Texas. A good time for Wool and an Akubra. This ones a Coobalah with a bit of a brim trim, and the Crocodile band changed out for a feathered one

I wore my Crosby & Co bowler today. This one always seems to get paired with leather jackets.

Etsuko was in her light sand Leisure Time.

Since shaving my head, I’ve found hat sizes to be much more forgiving. The hats that fit me before still do. The hats that were very snug are a little better. The hats that were a little big fit better due to the sweat band sticking to my forehead. I’m sad to say that this bowler is the exception. I was left with an itchy red patch on the back of my head with an indent where the sweatband bow is. I don’t want to let this one go, so if anyone has a suggestion as to what I can do, I’d love to hear it. @Steve1857, are bowlers an option for baking? I’m worried that if I stretch it, I might screw up the brim.

Thank you very much! The pairing of that hat and coat was purely accidental. The hat fell off of the stack and flopped next to a couple of coats I was moving around and Ta-da they found each other. Too many hats. Too many coats!

 

[Dlaniger]

That’s a beaut, Reggie.

Thanks, Joe.

 

[Steve1857]

Bowlers can definitely be baked, Gary. Remember though, very low heat, start at 80° to begin with, and not in for too long at a time.

Hope you manage to get it to fit. It's a beauty.

Wash your mouth out with soap and water, Reggie!

And then what? Put it on? Put it on a stretcher? I’m keen to make this work. It’s my only stiff felt and I’d hate to have to say goodbye to it.
